Filter by:Primary Objective: - To determine the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the Biomoda CyPath™ Early Lung Cancer Detection Assay using sputum specimens from two cohorts of participants and estimate the required sample size to finalize a protocol for a pivotal study. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the capability of the Biomoda CyPath™ Early Lung Cancer Detection Assay in a clinical setting to identify cancer cells, as assessed by TCPP labeled cancer cells demonstrating red fluorescence under a microscope with ultraviolet (UV) light being observed with a FITC (Fluorescein isothiocyanate) Filter. - To assess the capability of the Biomoda CyPath™ Early Lung Cancer Detection Assay to detect pre-invasive cancer in comparison with PAP sputum cytology and routine CT scan.
RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving everolimus together with whole-brain radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus and to see how well it works when given together with whole-brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate three treatment regimens in patients with stage IIIB/IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with a performance status of 2 and who were not previously treated.
This study is a prospective trial of Alimta (pemetrexed) versus IRESSA (gefitinib) among epidermal growth factor receptor wild-type Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients in a 2nd line setting.
The purpose of this non-interventional study is to collect data on efficacy and toxicity of the use of Navelbine ORAL in daily routine in Germany (especially after availability of an 80mg capsule). The study focusses on concomitant antiemetic therapy and patient compliance.
RATIONALE: Cryotherapy kills tumor cells by freezing them. Giving cryotherapy before surgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well cryotherapy works in treating patients with primary stage I non-small cell lung cancer or lung metastasis.
A new type of treatment called stereotactic radiotherapy has recently been developed in hopes of improving the success of the treatment and improving the convenience to patients, while reducing the side effects. This study is developing stereotactic radiotherapy as a state-of-the-art treatment for lung cancer patients.
The trial is a phase II study of daily Tarceva combined with definitive radiotherapy in inoperable locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (stage IIB-IIIB). The objective of the phase II trial is to examine Tarceva concomitant with curatively intended irradiation 66 Gy (2 Gy x 33 F, 5 F per week).
This study is an open label randomized multi-centre phase II trial in patients with inoperable locally advanced stage IIB-IIIB Non Small Cell Lung Cancer who fulfils the general criteria for curatively intended irradiation. The treatment plan consists of two courses of inductions chemotherapy followed of concomitant therapy chemo-radiotherapy 3 weeks after day 1 of the last induction chemotherapy has been given. The patients will be included in the study after completing the induction chemotherapy. Randomization will take place only if an acceptable dose plan can be obtained.
Primary goal of the study is to assess the overall survival of the addition of hypofractionated image guided radiotherapy concurrently with Docetaxel and cisplatin. Survival will be assessed at 1 year from the date of study enrollment to date of death.
